Real Ale Ray left this review about The White Hart Inn

I was amazed at the interior here, proper old style coaching inn, with a labyrinth of rooms descending back from the bar area. To add to this illusion someone had the idea to stick mirrors at the ends of partition walls, which was a bit too much.
The front small lounge area overlooking the street was a decent spot to relax. However the downside on our visit, was they only had one beer on handpump, which was a Marston's Pedigree.

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The White Hart Inn

The White Hart Inn is approached by a passageway with gnarled old trees and a statue (a cherub, as I recall). There are bars either side of the passageway. I headed for what appeared to be the main bar on the left-hand side.

The bar has 4 handpulls. Pedigree is the regular beer. Guests were Directors & Forty Niner, whilst the fourth handpull was unclipped. Neck Oil was the most adventurous beer amongst the keg selection, whilst cider got no better than Inch's & Thatcher's Gold.

The main bar room descends to a lower section and then to a corridor leading off left to a secret garden, which was where most punters could be found on my Thursday evening visit. Others were in the bar itself, whilst there were also a handful in the passageway.

This is a really nice pub and could easily become one of the highlights amongst Exeter pubs if only it wasn't operated by Marston's.

Very traditional coaching inn and now a Marston's pub / restaurant / hotel. The slightly split-level bar, accessed by non-residents via the courtyard, has been refurbished but in a reasonably sympathetic way. Disappointingly, though, just Pedigree (£6.20 with a packet of salted peanuts) available from the four handpumps.
